CIDENTs OF THE AGITATION.
DUBLIN, Sept. 2l.--Mr. Kilbride, the gentle
man who accompanied William OBrien to Canada
in his tour against tho Marquis Of Iansdowne Tor
the cruelty with which the. evctons on the latter d
Laggacurran estates were conducted last APRIL
was to-day elected without opposition to represent
South Kerry in the House of Commons. Mr
Kilbride was the Marquis of Lansdownes principal
tenant, paving $4,000 per annum for farm
valued by the Government appraisers at but
s21O0, and the emergency men who executed
the eviction broke into the Klbride house through
the doors and windows and threw the furniture
out so violently that nearly all Of it was broken
to pieces. The members of the League in pro-
claimed localities are uniting for common action.
They will hold number Of meetings on Sunday
in defiance Of the law.
At a meeting Of Kikee carmen to-day it was
resolved to defy the Leagues orders not to drive
the police. The carmen afterward drove the
police to and from the Moveen evictions.
THE Frceman's Journal says the localities
in Ireland proclaimed yesterday by the Government
are those in which the most sweeping evictions
have taken place and argues that these localities
have been selected because the landlords are
losing the fight they alone wantonly provoked.
Constable McCallaghan, of Castleisand, has
resigned as a protest against the Coercion Act.
"A
70 take prisoners from the Petty Sessions to the
3ralce Jail, stopped on the road by three
men, who beat the driver. threw the car into
ditch, and injured the horse. The men have
been arrested.
GALWAY, Sept. 21.-1he gunboat Orrel, while
conveying to Ballyvaughan to-day the prisoners
concerned in the killing Of Constable Whelehan,
grounded two miles from shore. The accident caused
great confusion. The prisoners, heavily ironed,
were placed in boats with difficulty and rowed
ashore watched by double guard. The demeanor
of several Of the prisoners showed that they would
risk their lives on the merest chance to escape.
At the inquiry to-day Widow Sexton, the mother
Of the farmer whose house attacked by the
prisoners stated that after the ban Of the League
had been placed upon them they could not get
food or other necessaries of life in the locality;
that nobody was permitted to work for them, and
that she was watched necessarily in order that
people might be prevented from speaking to her.
She identified only one of the moonlghters, having
secn him pull his mask off his face at the time
Of the attack.
LIMERICK, Sept. 2l.-The Poor Law Guardians
Of Limerick had arranged TO hold a
meeting today for the purpose of con-
kIdering and condemning the conduct OF the
Rev. John Delmcge, large landlord in Limerick
County, for harshIy evicting the tenants unable
70 pay their rents on his estates. Mr. Delmege's
IflendS, however, clrcumventcd the Guardians, so
that wbeA they arrived at the workhouse they
found it surrounded and guarded by armed police,
who refused TO permit the meeting to take place.
LONDON, Sept. 2l.-"Ihe Times" commenting
on the speech made by Mr.. Dillon at the meeting
Of the National League in Limerick yesterday,
says: Mr. Dlllons speech reads rather like an
unconscious confession of weakness. There will
be many more such confessions if the Government
continues steadily and unfinchin2ly in its task
Of vindicatng the law.n
The Standard says: The law is o
reality. Power has passed away from juries of
perjured partisans. Dillon and his kind are nat
nraiiy anxious to sustain the of the League
We do not disguise from ourselves the fact that
the struggle will be q sharp one"
Cork, Sept. 2l.-An enormous crowd welcomed
The English Home Rule deputation to-day. The
Mayor Mr. Davitt and many prominent persons
escorted the visitors to a hotel, where Mr.. Davitt
made speech. Mr.. Davitt said it might be
necessary to uphold the right of meeting and
freedom of speech by handy blackthorns. If
Balfours myryidOns rcsorted to deadlicr weapons
than batons the manhood of Ireland would be
perfectly justified in doing likewise.
Professor Th0roll Rogers, Mr.. Conybeare, M. p,
and others made addresses
